Bowerbird's Profile

JosieDaisy,

I agree with Veronicainla's sentiment that to see more people growing their own produce would be a positive move on many levels but I share your challenges when it comes to actually growing your own food at home. I simply do not have enough direct daylight in my apartment to grow vegetables and herbs let alone access to an outdoor space.

My solution is to grow my own mushrooms as they don't require sunlight (many options online but I buy a box of inoculated soil each year from a mushroom farmer at my local farmers market). You can also look into the possibility of borrowing (or renting) a little patch in a local community garden or from a neighbor if you are keen.

http://acga.localharvest.org/ is a good resource to help you find community gardens in your area.

Congratulations on a beautifully designed home.

I have a 'Lance & Harry NY' bookmark and I keep returning to it again and again. I love everything you've done with the place from the overall colour scheme down to the details. Truly inspiring and certainly the best House Tour I've seen on AT yet.

As a Hong Kong expat I'm more than used to 350sq ft apartments but have never seen one so beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. Having lived very happily with my husband in 400sq ft for the last two years I love the challenge of making every corner work. Your home is inspirational to those of us working with small spaces!

Lance, would you be so kind as to take a moment to tell me where you purchased the black storage and filing boxes you have above your desk? Have been searching fruitlessly for the same.

Thanks and all the best.
